It's a Boy!


Mr. D and I had a gender reveal party this past weekend and enjoyed sharing the gender of our baby with our close friends! During the party we handed out to our guests white cupcakes that were filled with the gender-revealing color. I had a lot of fun biting into the cupcake alongside everyone else and seeing the blue color hidden inside representative of a boy!

We are planning to name him after his grandpa on my husband’s side.

A few weeks ago Mr. D and I took a trip to Las Vegas to visit Mr. D’s family and we shared with his grandpa that if we had a boy we would name our boy after him. Mr. D’s grandpa was pretty excited when called him a week later to tell him that we found out we were having a boy and that he would have a great-grandchild to share his name.

Overall we’ve enjoyed all the love and support we’ve received from our friends and family. We hope we are up to the task of becoming parents and are looking forward to the big life transition.

-Mr. D and Mrs. M

Neil's friends visit

  Our friends from Seattle were in town visiting for a work conference in Park City and they stopped by our home and stayed with us for a day. We loved seeing them and getting to have our boys play together. There was a lot to do at our home-- play with legos, practice baseball, enjoy the chickens, and read together. Hope to have them visit again next time they are here for a work trip or to ski.

Camping

This past weekend our family got to go camping with cousins, and we had a great time.  We live in Highland Utah, which is near the American Fork Canyon entrance. We chose to go to the Timpooneke campsites, which is really close to us. We went there a couple times last year. The campsites are really nice. At each campsite is a concrete slab with a fire pit and picnic table, as well as flat ground to place your tent (plus walkable to drinking water, an outhouse, etc.).  We went with David's sister's family and the kids loved gathering around the fire, playing games, and exploring together. We even got to take our paddle boards out to Tibble Fork Reservoir. Here are photos from our trip: Campground link:  https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/231938

Mariana visits!

When we lived in Seattle, Mariana lived with us and helped us take care of our kids (as our au pair). When we moved to Utah she finished her year with our family and returned to Mexico for college. Mariana was kind and visited us a few months later when she was in the US for a vacation and then just this past weekend she visited our family again when she was in the US. We love seeing her!  This time we were in for a special treat because she brought her sister to come see us too. David got to play tour guide for a couple days and took them to Temple Square in Salt Lake, BYU campus in Provo, and the snow in Park City. I asked Mariana what her favorite part was and she said skiing and seeing the boys how they’ve grown.  We are so grateful she took time to see us and see our kids. While she was here David and my oldest had a soccer tournament in Mesquite that was also a good experience.
